What Should We Do About
Terrorism?

Here are articles by Harry Browne presenting approaches
the U.S. government should take in response to the September 11 attack —
as well as offering a long-term foreign policy that will make future
attacks on America much less likely.

mentioned in Part Three above.

I
Love America — Do You?
November 20, 2001  Do you love America? If so, isn't it time you spoke out on behalf of America  before the President and Congress take away the rest of what made this the land of the free?

Is War Necessary?January 16, 2004 — Finally, a look at the question of whether we should
ever have to go to war against anyone.

Then you come to me and say, 'Okay, you’re so smart — what’s the cure

wouldn’t have had to warn you, would I? I’d have told you to go ahead
and smoke, since if you got cancer I could cure you.'"
